Reflections Art: Show Your Voice!

/in , /by

For over 50 years, the National PTA Reflections arts program has furthered the goals of the program founder, Mary Lou Anderson. Reflections has helped millions of students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life. The 2022 theme is SHOW YOUR VOICE! This year, we are offering it in three categories: Literature, Photography, and Visual Arts. Students can submit 1 entry in each category. Submit entries digitally using this form. Deadline to submit entries is October 13, 2022. For questions, please contact Cynthia Zhang at reflections@vistaverdepta.org.
